Vinification
The fruit for this wine originates from two vineyards, the Summus (Wilyabrup) and Carbunup River Vineyards. It was picked "just on" ripeness with the resultant wine showing fully ripe flavour yet retaining fresh and vibrant acidity. Machine harvested at 3AM, the fruit was drained and pressed immediately and the juice roughly clarified. The juice was inoculated with Cru Blanc yeast and fermented cold over a 14 day period.
Maturation
At one third of the way through fermentation, 15% of the wine was run off to seasoned 225L French oak barriques to provide a creamy, textural component in the final blend.
Appearance
Pale straw colour with a green hue.
Aroma
Fresh citrus and melon aromas with delicate floral hints.
Palate
The palate is medium bodied with stone fruit and fresh citrus flavours and a light touch of French oak. The wine finishes smoothly with balanced acidity and lingering ripe fruit flavour.
